Erik Novoa (www.swingshoes.net) hosted his regular monthly West Coast Swing and Hustle party at Empire Dance. This dance takes place every third Friday of the month. Admission is $12. They play about 80% songs that can work for both West Coast Swing and Hustle, and 20% songs that work for one or the other. This evening's theme was a post-Valentine's Day Pink Party. Most of the dancers showed up wearing something pink.

Michael Diener helped me out by taking some pictures. You can check out his website at www.WHYdance.com.
